State Representative Rusty Bowers (R-Mesa) is facing stiff competition for the Republican nomination for the state senate seat he is now running for, political watchers say, as the term-limited Arizona House Speaker campaigns against the well-known, Trump-endorsed former State Senator David Farnsworth to represent the people of the 10th Legislative District.
State Representative Jake Hoffman (R-Queen Creek) warned that Bowers is a “career politician” who “will betray you repeatedly then lie to make you think they were on your side the whole time.” In a post on Telegram, he relayed a couple of his bad experiences in the Arizona Legislature with Bowers, while refuting Bowers’ new campaign ad.
Hoffman said, “In Rusty’s ad he claims ‘we passed new pro-life legislation’ yet fails to tell voters that he personally ensured the death of my motion to introduce a full ban on abortion on the day Roe v. Wade was overturned by SCOTUS. His actions to block my motion ensured tens of thousands of babies will die by abortion.”
He added, “Rusty also claims ‘we supported our police,’ yet fails to tell voters that he refused to support the AZ Backs the Blue Act, my bill that would’ve given every sworn police officer and sheriff’s deputy in AZ a $5,000 AZ Backs the Blue Bonus.”
